This gun had been advertised for a few months now, just wondering if anyone who pre-ordered actually got one yet? I've been considering putting in for one, but I'm on the fence about putting the money down and waiting an unknown amount of time.

I thought they might have more in stock before this fall, but so far it doesn't look that way. I've seen a few online retailers advertising prices as low as $160 with free shipping. If you can shop around and find a decent priced FFL, that's pretty reasonable.

I like the look of the burnt bronze model.

I've got one and so far I really like it! I've only shot it a hundred times or so but seems reasonably accurate and tough as nails, as are all Rugers. To me, they feel much superior to a Heritage.

Do you remember how long you waited for yours after ordering? If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours from?

I have examined all three varients at Murdoch's - a farm and ranch supply store chain here in Montana. They were pretty reasonably priced but I haven't purchased one.

I want the blonde model at the very top of the page. I'm certain I can't afford it though.

Haven't seen one yet, but the average asking price at retailers is $200.

Why that ?
Why not a Single Six?
I have a Single Six I bought new in 1971. Never a problem.

A single six is a LOT more than $200 nowadays.

And a cerakote finish should be far better than the nice finish on the single six.

Just curious but why not available in MN or Mass.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Isn't the MSRP according to the original releases at 249? Reviews on accuracy have been rough. Off a bench was alright but freehand the sights caused issues from reviewers.

I like revolvers that have adjustable sights like my ruger single six convertible.And all my other ruger revolvers for that matter.

Can you get a .22 mag cylinder for it?

SNIPERBBB, yes MSRP is $249, but generally speaking that's the top end of what you'll actually pay. I saw some retailers online as low as $160 with free shipping. Just gotta pay the FFL fee on top of that.

Trapset, no there isn't a .22 mag cylinder available for it.

I'm not too worried about accuracy as I'll be using it on the trapline for point blank shots. Yes I know a rough Rider will do the same thing for half the price, but I like the look of the Wrangler better and it's my wife's money, I can spend it however she lets me grin

I've found a couple places that have the black and silver models in stock, but no burnt bronze. If anyone sees a burnt bronze model in stock, I'd appreciate a heads up!

Edit: well I did some more looking and found one not too far away at a Fleet Farm, so I ordered it. I also saw the Bud's Gun Shop website has them in stock if anyone else is looking for one. I'll hopefully have it before this weekend and get to put a bunch of rounds through it and report back if anyone is interested.

I'm excited, I've been wanting one since I saw the press release announcing their introduction.
